PreMeal or PostPrandial Glucose Checks PP with Type I DM
Listen now
Description
Since the late 1990s, the standard practice for GDM care has been to measure postprandial glucose values. For patients with pre-gestational diabetes, whether type I or type II, the ACOG recommends multi-level glucose checks (fasting, pre-meal , postprandial, and nighttime). But what about in the immediate postpartum interval? In patient’s with pre-existing diabetes, should blood sugars be checked pre-meal (qAC) or postprandial while still in the hospital, and after discharge? The topic for this episode comes from one of our podcast family members who had this clinical dilemma? In this episode, we will review the data and recommendations from the American Diabetes Association, the ACOG, and CDC. So grab your sugar-free drink of choice, and listen in!
